Hi! I'm Jen and I grew up in Sydney, Australia.

I'm currently living in Vienna, Austria and visit neighbouring European countries whenever and as often as possible. I am a teacher at a bilingual school here and I live with my boyfriend, Andre, and a chocolate labrador named Mowgli who is the friendliest dog you'll ever meet.

I am someone who enjoys finding new places to explore and meeting people. I've also lived in America for a total of 1.5 years: San Francisco for 6 months while on student exchange, which was a ball. As well as Colorado and Texas on a work/travel visa.

I think it's inspiring and invigorating to visit new places. Having done so my self for many years, I appreciate all kinds of help and like to provide a nice place to stay, good company and help with exciting places to go throughout the city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share my place with those who are traveling through Vienna and lend a couch while I travel as well :)
